The hourly operating cost of a plane which seats up to 405 passengers is estimated to be $5,283. If an airline charges each passenger a fare of $100 per hour of flight, find the hourly profit P it earns operating the plane as a function of the number of passengers x. HINT [The cost function is constant (Variable cost = 0).]

P(x) = Gymnast Clothing manufactures expensive hockey jerseys for sale to college bookstores in runs of up to 300. Its cost (in dollars) for a run of x hockey jerseys is C(x) = 3000 + 10x + 0.2x2 (0 ? x ? 300) Gymnast Clothing sells the jerseys at $105 each. Find the revenue function. Find the profit function. How many should Gymnast Clothing manufacture to make a profit? HINT [See Example 2.] (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.) jerseys The hourly operating cost of a plane which seats up to 405 passengers is estimated to be $5,283. If an airline charges each passenger a fare of $100 per hour of flight, find the hourly profit P it earns operating the plane as a function of the number of passengers x. HINT [The cost function is constant (Variable cost = 0).] Specify the domain. [0, 405](?5283, 5283) (100, 405)[0, 100][?405, 405] What is the least number of passengers the plane must carry in order to make a profit? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.)

Explanation / Answer

revenue function = 105*x

profit function = 105x-3000 + 10x + 0.2x2=95x -3000- 0.2x2

=95x -3000- 0.2x2>0

x>34

so 34


hourly profit P= 100x-5,283

domain [0, 405]

100x-5283>0

so 53 passengers
